No Angolan 'troops for Zimbabwe'

African leaders have been loth to criticise Mr Mugabe publicly
Angola has denied reports it is sending 2,500 feared paramilitary troops, known as the Ninjas, to Zimbabwe as a "lie".
"It is not the custom of the Angolan government to interfere in the internal matters of other governments," Angola's embassy in Harare said in a statement.

As part of a bilateral deal signed last week Angola agreed to train Zimbabwean police, a BBC correspondent says.

Meanwhile, Amnesty International says the African Union has failed to act on human rights abuses in Zimbabwe.

lier this week, Zambian President Levy Mwanawasa likened the current crisis in Zimbabwe to the sinking of the Titanic

Over the past week, South Africa has become more forthright in its remarks, but it has not openly criticised President Mugabe's government.

More than 80% of Zimbabweans are living in poverty, with chronic unemployment and inflation running at more than 1,700% - the highest in the world.


[I personally feel for all those people in Zimbabwe who have become paupers thanks to Robert Mugabe. Before internal divisions lead to very violent strife in the country. The military or the party needs to step in. Zimbabweans cannot continue like this.]
